My Question or Issue

The spotify app is consistently crashing every time my phone picks up or loses an internet connection. E.g. when moving out of range of a modem it will crash as soon as it can no longer detect a connection, forcing me to manually restart. This also happens when I enter into range of the same modem. I have tested this by switching off my phone's wifi and running the app without incident for >2 hours, and then the app immediately crashed when I switched the wifi back on. The app seems incapable of running for more than ~10 minutes without crashing in its current state.

I have performed two complete reinstalls at this point, neither one helping in any way. The app seems to be updated to the most recent version (8.5.15.885). I have also tried the solution presented here (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Spotify-Android-app-crashing-after-going-online/td-p/33923) without success.
